Photo taken at dusk. Acadia served Canada for more than five decades from 1913 to 1969, charting the coastline of almost every part of Eastern Canada including pioneering surveys of Hudson Bay. She was also twice commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) as HMCS Acadia, the only ship still afloat to have served the RCN in both World Wars. Today she is a museum ship, designated as a National Historic Site of Canada, moored in Halifax Harbour at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. Thanks to Wikipedia.

You are looking at the busiest Highway in North America. Better known as Highway 401 a U.S. Department of Transportation study concluded that the highway through Toronto is officially the busiest stretch of freeway anywhere in North America. The average daily traffic is anywhere from 450,000 to 500,000 vehicles.
